Guardians’ third baseman José Ramírez is committed to Cleveland.
Chris Antonetti, the Cleveland Guardians’ president of baseball operations, took care of club business early this winter. Earlier this week Ramírez agreed to a seven-year, $175 million contract extension. The deal will keep Ramírez, a seven-time MLB All-Star Game selection and six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, in Cleveland through the 2032 season.
